Highly selective synthesis of 4(5)-aryl-, 2,4(5)-diaryl-, and 4,5-diaryl-1H-imidazoles via Pd-catalyzed direct C-5 arylation of 1-benzyl-1H-imidazole

Highly selective, practical, and efficient protocols for the preparation of 4(5)-aryl-1H-imidazoles 2, 2,4(5)-diaryl-1H-imidazoles 3, and 4,5-diaryl-1H-imidazoles 1 are described. A key step of these protocols is the regioselective synthesis of 5-aryl-1-benzyl-1H-imidazoles 9 by Pd-catalyzed direct C-5 arylation of commercially available 1-benzyl-1H-imidazole (8) with aryl halides. The three-step synthesis of compounds 3 from 8 also involves the Pd-catalyzed and Cu-mediated direct C-2 arylation of imidazoles 9 with aryl halides under base-free and ligandless conditions. On the other hand, the four-step synthesis of imidazoles 1 from 8 also involves the regioselective bromination of compounds 9 and a Suzuki reaction of the resulting 5-aryl-1-benzyl-4-bromo-1H-imidazoles 11 with arylboronic acids 5 under phase-transfer conditions, followed by N-debenzylation.

Efficient synthesis of 1-R1-2-R-4,5-di(furan-2-yl)-1H-imidazoles and their luminescence properties

In this study, a series of 1-R₁-2-R-4,5-di(furan-2-yl)-1H-imidazole derivatives were synthesized in better yield 59.0%∼89.8% by the treatment of purified imidazole compounds with benzyl chloride or allyl chloride in the presence of sodium hydride, and were characterized by FT–IR, HRMS, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.

Synthesis and reactivity of 3-amino-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4(5H)-ones: development of a novel kinase-focussed library

3-Amino-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4(5H)-ones represent a potentially attractive heteroaromatic scaffold for drug-discovery chemistry. In particular, the arrangement of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor groups in the bicyclic core can fulfil the requirements for ATP competitive binding to kinase enzymes. Efficient and regioselective routes from simple starting materials to novel functionalised 3-amino-1H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridin-4(5H)-ones and related 3-amino-2H-pyrazolo[4,3-c]pyridines were explored and adapted for parallel synthesis, resulting in a library of compounds suitable for screening against kinases and other cancer drug targets. Methods for substituent variation at five distinct positions around the bicyclic core were devised to generate sets of compounds containing two- or three-point diversity.
